Finding the Perfect Bra at BRABAR
Finding the perfect bra can be a challenging experience, especially for teenage girls and young women. At BRABAR, we understand the importance of fit, comfort, and style. Our mission is to provide a wide range of bras that cater to different body types and preferences, ensuring that every young woman feels confident and comfortable.
Understanding Bra Sizes
The cup size of a bra is determined by the difference between the rib cage measurement and the overbust measurement. For example:
- A 28DD size bra means a 28-inch rib cage and a 34-inch overbust measurement (28 + 6 = 34) - a DD cup.
- A 32D bra size means a 32-inch rib cage and a 36-inch overbust measurement - a 4-inch difference, which is a D cup.
- A 34DDD bra fits a 34-inch rib cage with a 40-inch overbust measurement.
- A 38C bra fits a 38-inch rib cage with a 41-inch overbust measurement.
- A 38DD bra fits a 38-inch rib cage with a 43-inch overbust measurement - a 5-inch difference.
Debunking the Plus-4 Method
The plus-4 method of measuring bra size - still used by calculators from brands like SKIMS and Aerie today - is an outdated and inaccurate way of measuring. It generally gives the wearer an inaccurate bra size and puts them in a "sister size" - a cup size one size larger than the true cup size they need. This method doesn't account for the actual rib cage measurement, and can cause a poor fit that leads to discomfort, decreased support, and back pain.
TIP: Adding four inches to the band measurement is not recommended. Instead, measure your rib cage directly and round to the nearest even number, then use the difference between your rib cage and overbust measurements to determine your cup size.
Considering Style and Design
When choosing a bra for girls, it's important to consider the style and design that will best suit their needs. A sports bra may be more suitable for active girls, while a bralette or wireless bra may be more comfortable for everyday wear. Consider design features like adjustable straps, hook-and-eye closures, and padding or underwire for added support.
